AEP Application - Tips, Whats Needed, Q&A, Etc.

Thinking about applying for the Award of Excellence in Procurement (AEP) but not sure where to start? This webinar is designed to help demystify the process and set you up for success.

Join us for a panel discussion with CAPPO members who have firsthand experience supporting their agencies through the AEP application process. Panelists will share practical tips on getting started, organizing your materials, understanding application requirements, and avoiding common pitfalls. We’ll also leave time for live Q&A so you can get your specific questions answered.

With the AEP application deadline of May 15, this early-season webinar is the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation and move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re new to the AEP process or looking to refine your approach, this session will provide valuable insights and guidance to support your agency’s application
